Placebo was administered twice a day for 15 weeks.

Pregabalin

Pregabalin was administered twice a day at the starting dose of 150 mg/day in the first week and escalated to 300 mg/day at the end of Week 1. Pregabalin dose was titrated to 450 mg/day at the end of Week 2 based on the participant’s individual response and tolerability to pregabalin. Treatment period was 15 weeks that consisted of 3-week dose optimization phase and 12-week fixed dose phase.
